How to Collect Soda Can Pop Tops

Soda can pop tops are made of aluminum. Aluminum is recyclable so individuals who collect pop tops can donate them to charities. The charitable organization can then turn all of the collected tops over to a recycling center for cash. Collecting soda can pop tops is not hard, and children can learn how to get involved in helping out a charity.
